So it is that time of the season we get to sit in the same room, me (the voter) and you (the politician) after several months and years of you being in unending meetings according to the secretary I pay for to plan and run errands for you and your family… wait, my people (the voter), this is our time to sit down on the boss seat, hire and fire like a boss.
So what are the responsibilities of a boss?
Identify key positions. Look around and be in the know of who is who? What they do? And how they should perform. Here you will understand who is well qualified to handle what and if the heat is okay for them and how flexible they are to make things happen.
Learn the rules governing them (employee) in their positions. Like a boss, you need to know if an employee does not meet the set guidelines, what they should face, where, when and how… some may call it accountability measures but after all if a kid does not follow the rules they have to be punished to set pace for siblings and so is a full grown man hence the constitution.
For contract renewal, you look at the track record… a track record is not what the other employees tell you about that one employee but, what the employee has delivered to you as the boss as per prior agreement (terms of contract)… with this at hand you clearly make a decision to hire that employee or fire.
And last but not least, who works for you… this can be easily termed as gut. There is an employee after reviewing their Curriculum Vitae and have seen and had a talk with them, you still feel not okay with them because your gut simply is telling you, “this is the right person…” or simply “don’t you dare hire this one.” Most successful relationship and business deals especially with women are successful and one answer they will tell you when you question why they went ahead to make that choice, “my gut told me not to let go/go”
After you do your job as a boss, 8th of August, 2017 walk into that office with your identity card and voters details and exercise your rights as the boss… Remember, a boss does and will never fight for and employee to get a certain position… a boss job is to mark who is right for the job and get working towards his/her dreams to be able to live a better a relaxed life. (So do not kill a fellow boss because of an employee. Meet up and discuss further business engagements and plans)
Justice and peace our foundation.I hope the voter (boss) sees beyond tribal lines and hires competence.I LOVE GWENGI(LUO) because we were in the same school and class,Wairimu(kikuyu) who was my friend and student,kwamboka(kisii) who was my girlfriend ,Kyalo(kamba) my good friend, baraka (coast) my work mate n silly friend , nkoitoi (maasai) who has a special place in my heart)etc now I ask (monologue) who and why should I fight?

Delete"A track record of any employ is about the delivery he has done while in office." Similar, your success is measured by what you execute not what you say. I love this piece. Keep on keeping it up. Will come back over was over again.
